The stranger himself had gone to

among the collection a counterfeit

how little Dick had gotten it: but
God did know. and laid in His treas

A black cat which lived in a coun-
try house, and which was so wild
that it never approached any one
except when it wanted food, became
all of sudden a decent, well-behav-
ed member of feline society. / will
tell you how this came to pass. One
day there was found in a spring-trap
in the grounds of this house a tabby
cat which had been caught by the
paw. The poor thing was in such
pain that it was thought it would
have to be killed to put an end to
its misery. On looking at the wound
ed paw, however, it was believed that
it could be healed, and so the injured
cat was taken into the kitchen and
placed in a comfortable basket by
the fire This had hardly been done
when the wild cat pushed through
the crowd Of onlOOkers, and going
straight to the basket, at once began
to lick the other cats crushed paw.
From that very moment the black
puss grew an altered creature. Its
ferceness left it and it became
tanned, or, as we say, domesticated.
The bruised foot soon got well, and
the two cats lived together in the
house quite happily ever afterwards

A Queer Fisherman.

Apes and monkeys are always
amusing creatures, and it is great
fun to watch their tricks but there
is one ape, a native Of the island of
Java, who outdoes most of his rela-
tives in the way of being ridiculous,
especially when he amuses himself
as a fisherman.
This ape is very fond of shell-fsh,
and there Is 4 certain kind of sand
crab that suits his palate exactly.
These crabs dig little homes for
themselves deep in the sand, and
thither they retire when they want Il
quiet rest or when any danger threat
ems. When all is well, they spend
their time summing themselves at the
entrance Of their holes, or hopping
along the waters edge in search of
food.
The apes know their ways, and
while the crabs are looking for a
dinner, they also are bent on obtain
ing one for themselves. Apes, you
know, can move very quickly. They
wait until they see a party of crabs
apparently unconscious Of danger,
and busiIy engaged in discussing a
bit Of sea-weed or devouring the in
sects they are so fond of. Moving
stealthilv forward as close as they
dare, the ape gives sudden leap,
and seizes as many as possible Of
the poor, unsuspecting crabs, which
are speedily crunched into a shape
less mass by his strong jaws and de-
vOured.
But the crabs are very active too,
and it often happens that they Will
take alarm in time to scamper quick
" to their holes, and so cheat the
ape out of his anticipated meal.
When this occurs, the ape has re-
course to a stratagem which proves
how intelligent he really is, and
which makes him appear, as l have
said, one of the most amusing and
ridiculous Of creatures.
The ape Of Java, unlike others of
his species, possesses a very long
tail. He moves quietly up to the
hole into which he has seen the crab
disappear, thrusts his tail into it,
and awaits events. The crab, in
dignant at such an intrusion, makes
a spirited attack, and fastens upon
it. This is precisely what the ape
wants. He gives a sudden spring
forward the crab having no time to
collect his ideas, is drawn to the
surface, and in a moment the ape
has him in his claws. Poor crab !.
victim of his anxiety to punish the
invasion Of his home. One trav-
eler tells Us that there is a comical
look of suspense on the apes face
as he thrusts his tail into the hole
and waits for the crab to seize it. .
